Fetch a particular String in <div> using xpath

Question

I have the following DOM structure / HTML:

<div class = "something" >
    <div>
        <span>Some text</span>
    </div>
"Automated Script"
</div>

I am testing using Selenium Webdriver and have to fetch the string Automated Script to do an Assert.

Assert.assertEquals("Automated Script",webDriver.findElement(By.xpath("/div")).getText());

But the above xpath fetches both Some Text and Automated Script. Is there a way to only get the string Automated Script?

Answer 1

With assertEquals:

String divText = webDriver.findElement(By.cssSelector("div.something")).getText();
String spanText = webDriver.findElement(By.cssSelector("div.something span")).getText();
String expectedText = divText.replace(spanText, "").strip();
Assert.assertEquals("Automated Script", expectedText);

With contains and asserTrue:

Assert.assertTrue(webDriver.findElement(By.cssSelector("div.something")).getText().contains("Automated Script"));

Using WebDriverWait, that will wait for text and through an error:

new WebDriverWait(driver, 5)
        .until(ExpectedConditions
                .textToBePresentInElementLocated(By.cssSelector("div.something"), "Automated Script"));
